GUELPH, Ontario: Canadian Solar Inc. (the “Company”, or “Canadian Solar”) (NASDAQ: CSIQ), one of the world’s largest solar power companies, dedicated its US regional headquarters by unveiling its company logo sign on the exterior of the office building at 3000 Oak Road, Walnut Creek, CA 94597.
The US regional headquarters office brings together three different Canadian Solar businesses into one location: the Module and System Solutions business, the Energy business, and the company’s US solar project development subsidiary, Recurrent Energy. Conveniently located one block from the Pleasant Hill BART station, the new Walnut Creek office provides easy access to San Francisco and the rest of the Bay Area on public transit, lowering the carbon footprint of employees and visitors travelling to the office.
“Canadian Solar has been working with our US customers and partners for more than 10 years. We believe in the US solar market and have played a key role in the remarkable development of renewable energy there. Although recent trade policy changes have increased uncertainty in the market, we plan to weather the storm by consolidating and strengthening our operations, as cooperation is a better solution for the industry to develop,” said Dr. Shawn Qu, chairman and chief executive officer of Canadian Solar. “Canadian Solar is putting its ‘mark’ on the US solar market with the dedication of this office and logo sign. The United States remains one of the most important solar markets in the world.”
